Ligand exchange reactions are widely used for imparting new functionality on or integrating nanoparticles into devices. Using x-ray crystallographic methods, we determined the structures of gold nanoparticles following ligand exchange.  Our findings help to re-contextualize classic kinetic studies of ligand exchange.
